Default How much should I charge to travel 35mins once a week to just PICK up poop in their yard?

This is her ad:

hello..well most services charge a fee weekly..its not an outlandish figure. It must be done weekly. How much would you be willing to do it for? you only have to pick up the crap...no cleaning what so ever. it should only take you about 10 minutes.
its by train, near me.

Uhmmm... It would have to be considerable for me to drive 35 minutes each way, for a 10 minute job.. Otherwise its not worth the gas you'd waste

It matters how much poop there is. A little bit the $5 - $8. A lot $8 - $12.
Hope this helps! Good luck. : )

In all truth, they shouldn't be charged, for the distance you drive to get there.

If you don't want to drive 35 minutes, then just limit your services to people in your general area. It's your choice to do the drive.

Why can't they do it? I assume it's a dog, so unless they are sick or elderly and NEED help, they should do it themselves! Picking up the poop is part of owning a dog or any animal!

If I was you, I would charge them the cost of the gas you pay on the journey. Maybe a bit extra because you would need at least a small profit!

get a new job. if being a pooper scooper is your job, go to a parade. i am in a fife and drum corps (you can ask what that is) so i walk through a lot of horse crap. nobody likes that.

Doesn't sound like that'd be a job for you. You'd waste a lot of time for very little $.
